Hi, I have a question about ssCpuRaw on machines with two or more processors. I measure the counters ssCpuRawUser and ssCpuRawSystem at five minute intervals, and I think I should be able to get the percentages by taking the difference from the last sample and dividing by 30,000 (the number of ticks in 5 minutes):
percentage user = (ssCpuRawUserNow - ssCpuRawUserThen) / 30000
But do I have to also divide by the number of CPUs?
I tried reading the source code, but that's even more confusing. In cpu_linux.c, it seems to return the total ticks across all CPUs (so I should divide), but in vmstat_solaris2.c it seems to already divide by the number of CPUs (so I shouldn't).
Can anyone help me?
